Does anyone know that Xperia Z2 Tablet works with Stylus ? I mean regular tablet stylus like Wacom bamboo, Adonit Jot, etc.
I've seen a video on YouTube that shows it doesn't work well on it and we should push it so hard to work. is that true ?
Well I have the Bamboo Stylus pro(5mm) and I apply medium pressure on the screen for nice strokes so its kinda in between - not to hard but not to soft either.
So its alright

But in my experience it's not good at fine, detailed strokes like those you need for taking notes or writing a letter.

Yeah but in my experience with different passive touchscreen tablets they are never really suitable for notetaking in comparison with an active digitizer tablet

Exactly, I have a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet for professional digital painting but my idea was to sketch and paint some simple designs with this little handy tablets. by the way would you tell me that is the stylus functionality as good as Samsung note 10.1 2014 ?
If it is notetaking that you want then this tablet I am afraid is not for you if your going to use words by a stylus instead of a BT keyboard. It is usable of course but in no way can you make fine strokes that are as tiny as with a real pen. I have a surface pro 2 and that one is specifically made to support to these things.
For me I would choose a Surface Pro every day if I wanted a good tablet with pen support and the Galaxy note is a close second, so to answer your question - no, stylus support on the Z2 will never be as good as the Galaxy Note's because of the fact that one has real pen support and the other one doesn't.
I hope that helps you in your decision

thank you so much I appreciate it , I really like surface pro 3 and Wacom Cintiq companion but these are a little bit expensive and I can't afford it.
anyway I hope sony add some new features like stylus in upcoming Xperia z3.

Nice painting, lolz all I'll do with stuff like that is my stickman figures
With which app did you draw/paint that?
video looks cool. A paint brush seems it wouldn't be able to get in those fine spaces and would be for more blob tools.
I guess I would need to see how sensitive it is on the screen.
I used Infinite Painter, I like the selection of brushes and blenders. My all time digital favorite is ArtRage, but not available for Android yet.
Wow, thats pretty cool! I use the Jot for everything but for painting admittedly it sucks horrifically. I really like how it is an actual brush it sure made your drawing look amazing!
That looks neat, but is it really comparable to the kind of experience you could get using a Wacom tablet? In my experience, the tf101 is too laggy with my capacitive stylus.

I doubt it comes anywhere close to using a Wacom tablet but I don't find it too laggy. I think the biggest difference is the pressure sensitivity or lack of. ASUS makes a Windows tablet with a Wacom stylus but the price is steep.

I'm curious; is there a paid version? I can't find it on the market, and apparently the free version doesn't let you save?.
Also, this comment (about the free version) is interesting: "PLEASE make it compatible for tablets like the ASUS Transformer TF101 and Xoom etc as it doesn't work right and the scaling is a bit off". It sounds like your experience is a bit different, to say the least Any idea what this person is talking about?
Oop, just thought of something else. What's the resolution of the canvas? IIRC, Autodesk's SketchBook is limited to 1024xsomething which is pretty lo-res.

Anyone using this for their 7.7? I'm assuming that the keyboard will work fine, wondering about the tab's fit in the slot (portrait or landscape), and also if the tab fits in the case snugly or floats around.
Thanks.

Looks nice but it would be nice to have a slot to prop the tab on, but very nice looking nonetheless

It is way to big for the 7.7.
The keyboard is designed to be a case and keyboard.
It may hold the 7.7 in the slot but it will not fit as a case.
Here are some links that may help:

Thanks. I realized later that the 10.1 Tab actually fits inside, I didn't make that connection earlier. I might get this one, but will continue to look. The major bummer of this device is that because it didn't sell well at all, the accessory pool is so limited.
A Keyboard/Case combo is fine for a larger tablet, but for 7" I found that something like that would make the keyboard way too small/cramped to make it worth using. When I need to use a hardware keyboard, I either plug the old wired keyboard I have that was for the Samsung Q1U UMPC or the HP wireless one I bought that connects via USB dongle (need OTG adapter for it).
I like both of these because they have built-in pointing devices and you don't have to reach up from the keyboard to touch the screen or carry an extra mouse to move the cursor. If you look at the pic below, you'll see two round buttons on the upper left and right sides of the keyboard and that's for the optical mouse and left click (press down on the optical mouse sensor to get a right-click).
I bought this thing for $35 last year, but now just noticed the prices have shot through the roof at $90! Here's the cheapest one I could find: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-WIRELESS-MINI-KEYBOARD-LK752AA-ABL-BLACK-/271138360926?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3f211b0e5e

The C-Pen works like a charm on the ultra. Awesome alternative for stylus input. It has a soft tip (yay) and a clip. http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETC-S10CSEGSTA
The tip is bigger than your usual stylus, but comfortable enough for writing and doodles

And for a Samsung product not even ugly.
The tip is way more smaller than a normal capacitive stylus. Only the Galaxy S3 supported this pen.
Comparison with a normal capacitive stylus
Looks good but you don't need a traditional capacitive stylus on the Z Ultra - a pencil or ballpoint pen works great!
I have the Adonit Jot Pro capacitive stylus that I use on my Windows 8 tablet - that one is really good as it is the most accurate capacitive stylus on the market.
I have both of you beat.

Wait, the C-Pen has a smaller tip than normal capacitive styli. That's what makes it so great. It doesn't work on a standard capacitive screen, only on the sg3.
I also write with a pencil. But I like this better.
I added a picture of a comparison with a normal capacitive stylus to give you guys an idea.
considering a Cpen myself. I made the bluetooth spen stylus without the spen part , aka normal metal body pen, stretched the tip hole a bit, and managed to insert a 3.5mm headphone male plug out of it, complete with the dangling wires, stripped to touch the metal body. The thing does not write well. It writes, but its no clean or smooth or predictable. I didn't have as much luck as the spen guy, but the C-Pen was a consideration. Not too expensive, and significantly cheaper than the ridiculous 45$ to import the sony stylus into the US apparently. Care to post a video of the cpen tracking on the screen? I'd like to see if its really a win. I was hoping the tip was not soft but stiff.
why not just using a pencil?

Interesting ..
Did you remove Sony's screen protection before applying yours or was it fine to apply over Sony's one ?
Seems like removing the one that comes with the z ultra voids the warranty so just checking if it's fine to apply over Sony's one
Thanks !
Just saw that Samsung is selling the EE-CP905 Bluetooth keyboard (Pic below). Kinda like the leather look and the fact that it's thin. The Logitech one seemed nice, but too thick. Anyone have any experience with this keyboard?
Here in the Netherlands it's being offered for around 129 euros, which seems a bit too much. Is it worth it? Any reviews, pros, cons?

I purchased this keyboard with my Note 12.2 a couple of days ago. I have been using it pretty regularly over the last couple of days while setting the tablet up. So far I like it very much, it has been the best Tablet keyboard I have used so far and it really responds well to the tablet.

NO it does not protect the back of the tablet; it works as a front shell & keyboard. I can tell you this that this keyboard is hard to find, it is not on the Samsung Website and I think it is a limited run item that was produced for the launch of the tablet. Chances are if you do not get one now you may never see it available again.
It pairs easily to the tablet; it stays connected very well and it responds instantly even when you have not touched the tablet for a couple of hours. You have only one angle in which the tablet is held into the keyboard; however it is at the perfect angle for viewing the tablet while working. They keys are low profile but they feel very solid and I have not found any issues with this keyboard so far.
Again... I have only had it for a couple of days so this information is based on what I know so far!

It's nice, I am keeping mine. The only real downside to me is that I do not like using the note without a case, and you cannot just flip the note over and have it still lock in place on the keyboard. That said, it does work well with any case which leaves the bottom of the Note open (like the Moko). Far superior to the Zagg.

I paid $88 for it here in the US. I purchased it on-line from B&H Photo and Video (free delivery). It is much sturdier than the zagg keycase cover that is being sold by Best Buy. I think it is great. It forms a protective case for the tabley. Has the same faux leather covering. The only drawback is that it is not true docking keyboard. But for what it is, I think it is great.
It comes bundled in México in the 32gb SM-P900 even the package show it in the picture, it's a great product, serves as a nice cover for protect the screen and a great dock, the faux leather finish is the same of the tablet back.
Hi
I know it's an old thread but I just bought the keyboard, tested it a bit and I was wondering if anyone had an idea how to disable the word tips that display in the bottom of the screen while typing. I make very few mistakes and don't really need it. the problem is that the top of the screen is cut off a bit because of that otherwise it wouldn't bother me much

Hi I have just bought the tablet last night! Loving it so far.
The reason I bought this ridiculously big tablet is because I want to use it like paper and pencil (which is a perfect size for the purpose actually). However I was wondering if there's such screen protector that feels like a paper when drawing/writing with the S-pen? I have been told matte or anti-glare could offer a pretty close experience but it will sacrifice visual clarity (awesome colour gamut on this thing!).
Looking forward to hear from any of you!
No direct experience because I hate screen protectors and no longer use them but you could try playing with some different nibs in the SPen. These are design to give varying drag feeling.

Thanks for the idea. Are you talking about the extra nibs that come together with the tablet? I thought they are all identical.
I have also seen a C-pen from samsung, not sure what that does, would that be closer to my needs?

Like you I thought all nibs were the same but in looking at this picture it seems like they have different types of nibs. So you maybe able to get some different feeling nibs from wacomb.

It should come with two different nibs, one soft-tipped and one hard.
I'll test tomorrow if the nibs are the same as the ones in my Intuos pen. If they are, you could order some of those.

I have a Intuos too. The stylus is not picked up by the tablet. However I have not tried putting the nib on the S pen

On the Note 3 you could use various Tempered Glass screen protectors that made the experience a bit more like paper, but I dont think those are available for the NotePro. (That and they're already 60 quid in 5.7". In 12.2" they'd be around 200 quid.)

So, that's a no. The tips are far too big for the Spen, and about 0.3mm too thick for the Wacom Bamboo Feel pen.
Anyone own a Bamboo tablet and have the possibility to test if the Bamboo tips fit in the Bamboo Feel pen?
